We Used to Live Here by Marcus Kliewer (2024), 312 pages
I blindly went into this book
thinking it was a typical mystery. I am not sure how it even got onto my
"to-read" list, but imagine my surprise when things started getting
creepier and creepier. Unsettling even - especially when walking my dogs alone
at night. I don't typically read horror, but it snuck in and, honestly, I found
it pretty entertaining.
The story follows Eve and
Charlie as they renovate a newly purchased dilapidated house. The home comes
with a lot of eerie baggage that culminates in visitors that (as the title
states) used to live there. It is twisty plot that does rely on psychological
tropes, but, who cares, as it fun to be scared a bit.
I do want to give a shout out
to the audiobook narrator Jeremy Carlisle Parker - she was fantastic and I
highly recommend listening to it.
